voltage, amperage, head temp, oil pressure, ambient air temp, barometer, altimiter, heading indicator, compass, artificial horizon

The bottom right gauge is a gauge monitoring gauge to make sure the other gauges are working.

That's correct. And plus the whole thing is wired to the drivers seat. If the gauge monitor stops working the driver gets a quick shot of 12 volts to the pants... Dealer option I think. Not too popular for some reason.

All kidding aside, judging from the appearance of those floorboards, that car looks like it might be in really good condition. How does the rest of the car look? I can imagine left and right cylinder head temp gauges and maybe oil pressure. The left most gauge mounted on the dash appears to have a manual adjustment knob. I notice extra indicator lights on the dash too, just to the left of the seat belts warning indicator.

Also looks like it has the rare dual fun meter option - one for driver one for passenger (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) That was a good one.

Certainly could be a great car...not knocking the area surrounding the gauges at all. Has a/c or at least the setup for it. Someone buy it so we can figure out what all the gauges are!
